I've been reading again. SLOOOOOOOOOOWLY. A few books have clicked, a few have not.

Covet by J.R. WardIt had so many elements I like. At first I thought it would suck me in the way the BDB did in the beginning. I love the concept: fallen angels, good vs evil, saving seven souls, true love. The book held up, right up until the end. I don't know. I guess I felt like there was so much build up, the resolution was sort of anticlimactic. I wanted more.

Now I am reading Written on Your Skin by Meredith Duran. I have absolutely loved her previous novels. This one... not so much. The writing is good. The story is interesting. I just can't connect to the characters. There is so much deception that you almost can't tell who they truly are. I don't understand the characters, so I can't connect to them. When I can't connect to the characters I have a hard time stying with the book. I know I need to power through. If her track record holds strong, I will end up loving it. Right now, though, I'm just not feeling it.

Back to crocheting, I guess. (Gotta get these Christmas gift finished!!!)

What is this all about?

Women love to read. It is a fact. Women purchase more books than men. We read to relax. We read to escape. We read to dream. What better dream is there than a happily ever after? This site is devoted to those books that give us (for the short time it takes us to read them) a taste of that fairy tale. Whether it be chick lit, urban fantasy, or a good ol' bodice ripper, we will read them. This site is your chance to share, discuss, and discover books that fit the bill.
